Gates G-Force Workhorse CVT Belt 1-1/4" x 37-1/8" — heavy-duty, high-torque ATV/UTV replacement

The Gates 24G4022 G-Force Workhorse CVT belt is a heavy-duty, high-torque replacement belt engineered to extend drive life and improve load-carrying performance in recreational and utility ATVs and UTVs.

Built with modern materials and precision manufacturing, the G-Force Workhorse belt is designed to withstand demanding riding conditions while maintaining consistent power transfer. It uses a proprietary ethylene elastomer compound and a high-tensile aramid cord to resist heat, wear, and fatigue, making it a robust option for stock and lightly modified machines. This product page explains how the Gates 24G4022 differs from standard belts, what applications it suits best, and practical details to confirm fitment.

How does the G-Force Workhorse belt improve durability over standard CVT belts?

The G-Force Workhorse combines a tougher EE polymer with reinforced aramid cord to resist cracking, abrasive wear, and fatigue under repeated loads. That combination yields up to twice the service life compared to earlier G-Force models under similar conditions.

• Proprietary Ethylene Elastomer (EE) increases axial stiffness and heat tolerance.
• High tensile aramid cord reduces stretch and resists shock loads.
• Engineered construction minimizes heat fade and speed loss during heavy use.

Will this belt handle towing, hauling, or aggressive off-road riding?

Yes — the reinforced design targets applications where higher peak torque and repeated shock loads occur, such as towing or carrying cargo across rough terrain. However, it is not intended for turbocharged or heavily modified engine setups.

• Great for hauling and utility tasks on stock or lightly modified machines.
• Improved acceleration and shock-load resistance for aggressive terrain.
• Not recommended for turbocharged or heavily modified powertrains.

What are the exact dimensions and key fitment notes for Gates 24G4022?

The belt measures 1 1/4" in width with an outside length of 37 1/8" (1 1/4" x 37 1/8"). Confirm OEM part-number cross-reference and vehicle fitment charts for exact application compatibility before purchase. Proper installation and correct pulley alignment are important for maximizing belt life.

• Size: 1 1/4" x 37 1/8".
• Verify vehicle compatibility against the OEM reference or dealer parts list.
• Inspect pulleys and clutch components during replacement to avoid premature wear.

How does the G-Force compound affect performance in hot or heavy-use conditions?

The ethylene elastomer compound increases heat tolerance and axial stiffness, which helps maintain belt shape and traction under elevated temperatures and heavy loads. That reduces speed loss and heat fade compared with conventional belt compounds for more consistent power delivery.

• Higher heat tolerance reduces performance drop under long runs or heavy loads.
• Axial stiffness maintains effective clamping contact in CVT sheaves.
• Durable construction resists cracking even in abrasive environments.

Who is this for: The Gates 24G4022 G-Force Workhorse CVT belt is aimed at ATV and UTV owners who use their machines for utility work, towing, or aggressive trail riding and want a longer-lasting OEM-style replacement. It’s ideal for stock or lightly modified engines where improved durability and load capacity are needed. Do not select this belt for turbocharged or heavily modified powerplants — consult vehicle-specific fitment guides and a qualified technician if unsure.
